I'll have to do it by telepathy. From some papers of ancient date that reached me recently I learn that my young cousin, Newman Dorr, has gone into the fourth training camp. So he will not be at home when you go to Des Moines. But as Camp Dodge is near there you will probably get to see him at least. He's a splendid chap, and he should make a fine officer. The same lot of papers told briefly of the death of one of my intimate friends. It said "killed" but it must have been by accident because the last I heard he was at a cantonment at home. I last saw him just after he was commissioned at Snelling. War - uh. Honey, I wish mightily you were sharing this place with me. Oh, you can't half realize how my arms ache to encircle your shoulders and bring you close to me so I could cover your lips and eyes and cheeks and the tip of your nose with burning kisses. I love you! Always Your Hubby Conger Reynolds 2nd Lt. A. G. D. [censors seal]
